the concern is whether israel will launch a ground offensive. there is precedence for it. that's why many palestinians are fearful that in the coming days this can only get worse. a lot of people are questioning the effects of all of this. why is israel continuing to carry out these attacks if it has not been able to stop the rocket fire it set out to stop. when it launched the operation four years ago, it was precisely the same modus operandi for the same objectives. we're four years later, palestinians have rockets now reaching the southern tip of tel aviv. hamas is more entrenched. the situation has not changed for the southern part of israel nor for the people of gaza. the only thing that's changed is the arab spring and we're seeing a country like egypt trying to play a more active role in mediating a truce. egypt's prime minister is expected to make a trip to the gaza strip with the hopes of trying to calm the situation down and expressing his solidarity with the people of gaza. >> stay safe and thank you. we will have more on this rapidly developing situation in the
